The Claim of Ilayti.
WASHINGTON. April

WAsHINGToN, April 8.
Although correspondence has not begun
between the department of stste and the
government of Great Britain in regard to the
reported threat of that government TO seize
the Tortugas Islands from Hayti in default
of deot yet an investigation is being made
aud all of the data relating to the subject in
the possession of the department is being
cole cted The English claim appears 10 be
very intricate in its nature. The correspond
ence in Frelinghugsen administration
shows that the claim is an individual one,
based upon a number of cessions ard con-
tracts regarding the privilege to cot mshog-
apy that was not cut, or at least in sufficient
quantity. The amount of the claim 10 Sec
retary Frelinghuysens administration was
placed at 5000, 900.

DETROIT, Aprll 3.
From all reports received, the Evening
Journal now figures the majority against pro-
hibition at 1876. More complete returns in
most cases cut down the prohibition vote.
In this, Wayne county, the majority against
the amendmen, was % .344, being an increase
of several hundred over former reports.
There is now no doubt that prohibition has
been defeated
l. now seems that the prohibitory amend
ment has been defeated by $500 votes. Sew

clined to 60 farther still, aud ven
ture the assertion that its presence
in public schools never benefited
any human being and never will.
Although "Teacher" endorses the
law which prohibits teaching in the
public schools, "the peculiar tenets
of any sect" he finds that it does
not forbid the teaching and inculca-
ton of those principles and prac-
tees which are the soul and sub
stance Of true religion. Truth,
honesty, uprightness, unselfshness,
the fear of God, etc., are not "the
peculiar tenets of any Sect" but
they are the very essence Of true
religion. We agree with Teacher"
that not only may these things be
taught in our public schools, but
that they Should be taught. The
schooling which merely trains a
pupils intellect, and leaves the
moral nature untouched, is very
defective, and not calculated 10
make desirable members of society.
The talk from some quarters of
education making clever rogues is
based on the false assumption that
education simply means instructing
the intellect. The early and con-
tinuous training Of boys moral
nature is the way to make of him a
true, upright, honorable, manly
man and the same means will, as q
rule, effect the same result. Now,
it must be admitted that a consider
able proportion of the children at
tending our public schools have no
training at all, in a right direction,
outside of those schools, and If the
schools neglect the moral faculties
of those children, the children are
not likely to grow to maturity inn
bued with the principles which make
true men and women. 1t is, there
fore, the duty of the public schools
to inculcate these principles, and
the teachers themselves must con-
form to the standard, or their teach
ing will be next to useless.

A CALARRlAN DIVORCE.

Probably for the first time in the
history of the Italian colony of Pro-
violence, r. l., an old Calabrian
custom was recently carried out
with all the solemnity with which
the peasantry of that section of
Italy attach 10 the customs of their
forefathers.
Just between Manton and Dyer
vile lives Giuseppe Carotta,
twenty-seven years Of age, a day
laborer, who has been in this coun-
try about five years. Just previous
to his departure from Italy Carotta
married young girl named Annun-
ziata Purpera, whom he had known
since childhood. During their resi-
dence in this country Carotta and
his wife lived happily together until
few weeks ago, when the husband
began to suspect that the wife was
not true to her marriage VOWS. lie
kept close watch, and finally his
suspicious were verified beyond a
doubt. Instead of seeking the man
who had dishonored him, with q
razor or knife, Carotta formally noti-
fed the relatives of his wife-they
having followed her to this coun-
try-of the circumstances, and in
vited them to family council.
The council took place at Ca
rotta's residence and there were
present his two brothers and one
cousin, his wife's father and mother
and her two brothers, beside two
intimate friends of the family to act
as arbitrators. When all were as
sembled the wife was summoned
and questioned by her father upon
the statements made by her hus-
band. She began to cry and con-
fessed that her conduct had not
been that of true and loving wife,
but denied having done any criminal
act. The husband, in the mean
time, said nothing and the rest of
the persons present were equally
silent. After the wife had told her
story she retired and the husband
and his brothers formally requested
the father to take back his daughter,
as, by her own confession, she was
not worthy longer to remain with
her husband. The decision being
sustained by the arbitrators the un-
happy father made no objections,
and, a few minutes later, the once
happy wife left her husbands house
accompanied by her relatives, with
whom she will henceforth live.
This custom, though very common
in the south of Italy, is rarely prac-
ticed abroad, yet none of the Gala
brian peasants would think of con-
testing the legality of such family
council and divorce proceedings,
provided there was evidence of
wrong-doing upon the part of a wife.

NOT A BOOM.

1t is not boom that we are ex-
pecting. But with an executive and
a Legislature acceptable to the ma
jolity of capitalists and those who
control the interests of the country,
confidence will be established, and
this alone, independent of increased
prices for our products, will tend to
loosen money and improve trade.
Our boom has passed, some years,
and there is nothing in the horizon
that we can see to warrant the ex-
pectation of another in the near
future. If we can succeed in
establishing our industries on safe
and stable basis, and steadily i'm
proving our general prosperity, we
are doing well and should be salts

NOT so EASY.

Some persons who do not take
the pains to reflect speak of the
government of these islands as a
very simple and easy matter. They
base their opinion on area and popu-
lation. If they would take the
trouble to consider for a few mo-
ments two or three plain facts, they
might be convinced that the diff
culties of government are in our
case out of proportion to the extent
of territory and the number of in
habitants. In the first place, our
comparatively small territory is
divided into six or seven parts, each
separated from the others by
stretch Of water more or less wide,
and with no Geographic connection
whatever. The governmental man
agement of the same amount of ter
ritory if in one part would be evil
IDENTIFY easier and less expensive
than separated as it is into so many
islands by channels and seas. The
second and main fact which renders
the government of the little king
dom q harder task than appears at
the first glance, is the diversified
and mixed nature of its inhabitants.
Just think, a population of seventy
or eighty thousand made up of six
or eight different nationalities, each
with its distinctive prejudices, Gus
toms, and usages. Reflect a few
seconds on the two facts alluded to,
and say if government is likely to
be so simple and easy thing here
after all.

$4,000 PER MONTH.

Il may be safely asserted that
each warship now in port expends in
this city at the rate, on an average,
of not less than 1000 per month.
There being five warships, the total
of expenditure, calculated on the
above basis, amounts to $4,000 per
month. This is a comparatively
large sum of money to be scattered
around in so small community as
ours. The bulk of it goes directly
to the liquor dealers, grocers, dry
goods dealers and hack drivers; but
indirectly every member of the
community benefits more or less

GnlPETA.

The dispatches state that the War
Department is somewhat puzzled-as
TO who is the Indian woman, Chi
peta, of whom mention is made in
the reports concerning the White
River Utes, setting forth that there
is great anxiety felt, and that if she
has been killed or in any way dis
turbed there will be serious trouble.
1t is rather singular that at Wash
ington the authorities did not know
who Chipeta is, as she has more
than once visited Washington in
company with her late husband
Ouray, head chief of the confeder-
ated bands of Utes; and while there,
was made much of on account of her
intelligence, and her endeavors to
assist her husband in his efforts to
check the turbulent portion of the
Utes and keep at peace with the
whites. This was particularly the
case at the time of the outbreak in
1879, when it was only through the
commanding influence of Ouray that
the whole Ute tribe was prevented
from joining the hostile band of
White River Utes.
Ouray was a great chief in every
sense of the word. In his younger
days he had been celebrated war
chief; had led the Utes in many
battle with their hereditary enemies,
the Sioux and Arapahoes. He was
of high order of intelligence, had
great determination, brooked no in.
reference with what he thought
best for his people. His word was
law among his own immediate band,
and had great weight with the other
bands of the confederation. Thrown
much in contact with the whites, in
a measure he adopted their customs.
After the death of his first wife he
took Chipeta to fill her place, and
was married to her by the rites of
the Catholic Church; lived in a
house, and engaged in stock-raising.
The son of his first wife, his only
child, was captured with a portion
of his band while on buffalo hunt,
by band of Arapahoes. The boy
was spared by his captors and grew
up to manhood and became one of
their chiefs. He was very young at
the time, and was supposed to have
been killed. When .Ouray found
some years afterward that he was
living, he made every effort to re-
gain him, but the boy had forgotten
all about his early days, and had
become so thoroughly an Arapahoe
that he refused to return, though to
his fathers entreaties were added
the earnest solicitations of the In
dian agents.
Ouray left all his property, which
was considerable in horses and cat
tie, to Chipeta, and it may be that
the cowboys have interfered with
her range and stock. 1t is not very
probable that she was with Colorow's
band at the time of the COLI
sion between him and the Sher-
